I'm sorta new... I actually joined back in 2006 under the same name, but I guess yall must have purged your system of inactive users or something.
Accounts wasnt deleted i got my account back just took me some time to remember what the name was. Also welcome back hope you find your old account!!!
The first time I hear that the account will be deleted. I have an account for 5 years and 5 years after I came back again. I account still works.
